Guides for installing, configuring, and using FuturaOS.

Installation

To install FuturaOS, download the ISO image from the download page and write it to a USB drive of at least 8 GB.

Command for writing via Linux/macOS terminal:

dd if=FuturaOS_2.5_amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress

Replace /dev/sdX with your USB device. After writing, reboot and select boot from USB.

P2P app store

The P2P store uses IPFS and DHT to distribute applications. To install a package:

  1. Open P2P App Store from the applications menu
  2. Find an app or paste a magnet link / CID
  3. Click Install — the client will download and verify the package

Example magnet link: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:futura_editor_latest

Terminal

FuturaOS ships with bash 5.2 and a full set of POSIX utilities. Standard Linux commands work unchanged:

  • ls, cd, grep, find — file operations
  • gcc, make, python3 — development
  • systemctl — service management

Package manager

The futura-pkg command manages packages from the P2P catalog:

  • futura-pkg install <name> — install
  • futura-pkg remove <name> — remove
  • futura-pkg update — update all packages
  • futura-pkg search <query> — search

Security

All packages are signed with developer digital keys. The system verifies signatures before installation. Enable automatic security updates in Control Center.
